Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the issue you raise is not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament. The extension of the Metropolitan Line is the responsibility of Transport for London, which is accountable to the London Assembly.
